In our practice, we've done several patients who have previously received butt implants at other centers. Many of these patients appreciated the volume that they had accomplished but they did not like to shake their butts. In these patients, we perform Brazilian butt lifts. This is a combination procedure that first begins with thorough liposuction of the trunk, abdomen, hips, waist, and lower back. Patients greatly benefit from their new tight figure. We then take the fact that we collect from a lot of suction and strategically placed it around the implants to improve the contour. Patients are very satisfied with this combination.

The most important part is to carefully discuss your surgery and your specific patient goals with your plastic surgeon. When you talk your surgeon make sure that you understand what they are offering and that it makes sense to you. We find it extremely helpful to use digital software to transform your images so that way we can communicate well with our patients and understand exactly what their goals are.

Yes, fat transfer would be your best and most viable option. Other options are to remove the implants you currently have and place a taller implant in its place. This is not any easy task and you would be better off by having fat transfer to the superior pole for added augmenation.

Hi there-

It would be very difficult to answer your question accurately without the benefit of first examining you, but in general, the combination of buttock implants and fat grafting for further augmentation is certainly possible and in fact, the two procedures are performed concurrently in many cases.

It may also be possible that your implants have developed a bit of encapsulation, and that the remaining buttock tissues are drooping a bit- if this is the case, a minor adjustment in the skin envelope may be necessary.
